Acer lanceolatum Molliard (Bull. Soc. Bot. France 50: 134. 1903), described from Guangxi, is an uncertain species and is therefore not accepted here. The type specimen, in Berlin (B), has been destroyed. Up to now, no additional specimens have been found that could help clarify the application of this name. Worldwide, Japanese maples are famous for their autumn color, and there are over 400 cultivars. Also, many Chinese maple trees have beautiful autumn colors and have been cultivated widely in Chinese gardens, such as Acer buergerianum, A. davidii, A. duplicatoserratum, A. griseum, A. pictum, A. tataricum subsp. ginnala, A. triflorum, A. truncatum, and A. wilsonii.

  • (Acer Truncatum), Mound Layering Shantung and Caddo Sugar Maples
    ROOTING STEM CUTTINGS OF SHANTUNG MAPLE (ACER TRUNCATUM), MOUND LAYERING SHANTUNG AND CADDO SUGAR MAPLES (ACER SACCHARUM), AND USING EASTERN REDCEDAR (JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA) AS A SUBSTRATE COMPONENT IN STEM CUTTING PROPAGATION by JUSTIN ALAN BROCK B.S., Kansas State University, 2013 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Horticulture, Forestry, and Recreation Resources College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Jason J. Griffin Copyright JUSTIN ALAN BROCK 2014 Abstract Heat and drought tolerance make shantung maple (Acer truncatum) and caddo sugar maple (A. saccharum) good candidates for midwestern landscapes. Improving cutting propagation or mound layering techniques could increase the availability of these species. The influence of time of year, cutting position, and auxin concentration, formulation, and solvent on rooting of stem cuttings of shantung maple was investigated. Semi-hardwood cuttings rooted best (55%). Generally, rooting percentage decreased as indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentration increased. Cutting position, auxin formulation, and solvent did not affect rooting. Mean root number and mean root length were unaffected by treatments. Results suggest semi-hardwood cuttings and low IBA concentrations [< 2500 ppm (0.25%)] promote rooting. Auxin concentration influenced rooting of caddo and shantung maple mound layered shoots. Rooting peaked at 15,000 ppm (1.5%) IBA for both caddo (71%) and shantung maples (34%). Mean root number for caddo, but not shantung, increased as IBA concentration increased. Differences in mean root length were not significant. Growers may now propagate caddo maple by mound layering. For shantung maple propagation, stem cuttings are recommended.

  • Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a Further Comparison
    photograph © Zhang Lin A rare view of Wa Shan almost minus its shroud of mist, viewed from the Abies fabri forested slopes of Emei Shan. At its far left the mist-filled Dadu River gorge drops to 500-600m. To its right the 3048m high peak of Mao Kou Shan climbed by Ernest Wilson on 3 July 1903. “As seen from the top of Mount Omei, it resembles a huge Noah’s Ark, broadside on, perched high up amongst the clouds” (Wilson 1913, describing Wa Shan floating in the proverbial ‘sea of clouds’). Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a further comparison CHRIS CALLAGHAN of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum 72 updates his woody plants comparison of Wa Shan and its sister mountain, World Heritage-listed Emei Shan, finding Wa Shan to be deserving of recognition as one of the planet’s top hotspots for biological diversity. The founding fathers of modern day botany in China all trained at western institutions in Europe and America during the early decades of last century. In particular, a number of these eminent Chinese botanists, Qian Songshu (Prof. S. S. Chien), Hu Xiansu (Dr H. H. Hu of Metasequoia fame), Chen Huanyong (Prof. W. Y. Chun, lead author of Cathaya argyrophylla), Zhong Xinxuan (Prof. H. H. Chung) and Prof. Yung Chen, undertook their training at various institutions at Harvard University between 1916 and 1926 before returning home to estab- lish the initial Chinese botanical research institutions, initiate botanical exploration and create the earliest botanical gardens of China (Li 1944). It is not too much to expect that at least some of them would have had personal encounters with Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson who was stationed at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard between 1910 and 1930 for the final 20 years of his life.

  • ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development
    ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development-dependent Formation and Metabolism of Anthocyanins and Proanthocyanidins in Acer Species. (Under the direction of David Danehower, William Hoffmann, Jenny Xiang and De-yu Xie). Anthocyanins are one of the richest pigments, which belong to flavonoid compounds in plant kingdom. They have many biological and ecological functions. Over the past many years, numerous efforts have been made to determine the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanins and also to identify several regulatory proteins mainly in flowers and fruits of model plants and crop plants. However, many questions concerning the metabolism of anthocyanins in foliage remains unsolved. One example is “How can developmental processes impact on accumulation patterns of anthocyanins in leaves”. In this study, we choose several cultivars from one of the most popular ornamental plants Acer palmatum Thunb. to understand the mechanism of developmental changes of pigmentation in leaf. Several other maple species were also analyzed. We propose that the metabolism of anthocyanins play an essential role in such changes. We use an integrated approach of phytochemistry and metabolic profiling to determine the biosynthesis and metabolism of anthocyanins and their impacts on foliage color. Proanthocyanidin analysis was carried out as well to determine their relationship to both anthocyanin production and foliar coloration. We have found that even for green leaves with no/trace amount of detectable anthocyanins, the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanidin/proanthocyanidin

  • 2017-4 Winter Newsletter Wespelaar Maple Collection No
    Reprinted from: The Maple Society Newsletter, Winter 2017 Vol 27/4 The Maple Collection at Arboretum Wespelaar, Belgium, with a special focus on some of the newer and rarer additions By Koen Camelbeke, Director, Arboretum Wespelaar It is indeed safe to say that the first dendrological passion of the founder of Arboretum Wespelaar, Philippe de Spoelberch, was for the genus Acer and rightly so! As we all know, this genus is really a joy at all times of year: flowers; new growth; colour and texture of emerging leaves in the Spring; variation in form and colour of leaves in the View across the lake at Arboretum Wespelaar, July 2013. Summer; autumn (Photo: Keith Montgomery) colours from late September to the end of November; and finally, the amazing range of bark textures and general tree habit which grace the winter months. When the Arboretum collection was started in the mid-1980s, the focus was on both botanical diversity as well as on aesthetics, especially focusing on autumn colour and Japanese maples. In the last decade or so, the focus shifted gradually to plants of known wild origin with the aim to present all of the species hardy in Belgium. Belgium is in this respect a wonderful country. Of course, as everywhere else, we also try to grow taxa which are more borderline in our climate, but, speaking of maples, Belgium has an excellent temperate, maritime climate influenced by the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Wespelaar is about 130km from the coast which means that our winters are somewhat colder and our summers hotter compared to the west of the country.
